Attend the meeting of the county government and present the benefits of the bike trail. This option would be most effective in influencing public policy on the decision to build the new BMX bike trail in the county-owned forested land. By directly engaging with local government officials and presenting the benefits of the trail, you can provide firsthand information and arguments in support of the project. This personal interaction can have a greater impact than letter-writing campaigns or emails to higher-level government officials who may not have direct influence over the county decision-making process.
